Cayman highlights

February 14, 2017: Porsche will launch the new 718 Cayman in India tomorrow, i.e. February 15, 2017. The car will arrive in India after over an year of its global debut. It will be powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre, flat-four engine producing 300PS of power and 380Nm of torque. The engine is expected to be mated with Porsche's seven-speed, dual-clutch 'PDK' automatic transmission. Porsche claims that the Cayman will complete the 0-100kmph sprint in 5.1 seconds and reach a top speed of 275kmph.

Porsche has announced that next-gen 2016 Boxster and Cayman will get the 718 name - 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman. Besides the new name, the duo is also powered by a new 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged boxer engine! While deliveries of the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman in India have already commenced, the official launch has been scheduled for February 15, 2017.

Porsche has derived the name 718 from their iconic flat-four cylinder (boxer) engine powered car of 1957, which had won numerous races for Porsche. Porsche says that the roadster version, i.e., Boxster will cost more than the coupe - Cayman similar to the 911 models. Moreover, Porsche went on to say that the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman will show more similarities than ever before – both visually and mechanically.
